New Delhi, Sept. 18 -- Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday called upon Indian industry to shed any remaining hesitation in investing, expanding capacities, and boosting production, while also urging closer collaboration with the government on skilling the workforce.

Speaking at the Indian Foundation for Quality Management event in the capital, Sitharaman said industry should clearly spell out what more is required from the government to accelerate growth.

"I hope there is no more hesitation for industry to invest further, expand capacities, produce more in India, and what else is required by the government to do -- spell them out," she told business leaders.
